If Miley Cyrus really has moved beyond her Disney Hannah Montana persona, into a more adult market (assuming the only music adults are interested in include less clothing, more gyrating and more baffling lyrics - which I'm not convinced is the case)  then why are 'tween' magazines still promoting her?

Do you remember Supre’s ‘Santa’s Bitch’ t.shirts for tween girls at Christmas? That charming little tee which told girls they were Santa’s ho, entrenching and mainstreaming pimp culture in girl’s clothing? Supre told me – and others who complained – they would withdraw them. They didn’t.

Not that long after, they were stocking their racks with “Pussy Power” t.shirts for girls, complete with cute black kitten. That’s right girls, your power is in your genitals. A good strong empowering message for girls everywhere. Thanks Supre.

Now, for the trifecta, Supre has come up with this:

As a result of a raft of complaints over its “Santa’s Bitch” and “North Pole Dancer” t-shirts, Supre’s Karen Hermann told us, in writing, that “Santa’s Bitch” would be removed. But Supre was playing fast and loose with the truth. They didn't get rid of the shirts, they dropped the price.

 "...consumers are split over the sale of T-shirts declaring the wearer "Santa's bitch" and "North Pole Dancer".

But the tops, on sale at tweenie chain Supre, have earned the ire of Premier Kristina Keneally.

"Children should remain children. These T-shirts are overtly sexual and they're inappropriate. We want to live in a society that values young women - and creates positive images for their development," she said. 

Ms Keneally yesterday called on Supre to withdraw the T-shirts, that were on sale for $5. Read more here.
